LEWES, Del. – Cape May – Lewes Ferry officials announced that the Lewes Ferry Terminal will once again host “Fireworks on the Green” on Thursday, July 4 beginning at 6:00 p.m. The Lewes fireworks show, which will be launched from a barge 1,500 feet off the Lewes beaches, is scheduled to illuminate the skies beginning around 9:00 p.m.

“Our green provides a perfect vantage point to enjoy this incredible display,” said Heath Gehrke, Director of Ferry Operations. “Admission and parking are free so bring a beach chair or your favorite blanket and come join us to celebrate America’s birthday!”

The lawn party will take place on Thursday, July 4 from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. on the Lewes Terminal Green.
